.DISCUSSION...
AS WE REMAIN IN THE VERY MOIST AIRMASS THIS MORNING...RAIN SHOWERS
CONTINUE TO BLOSSOM AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WORKS NORTHWARD THROUGH
THE AREA. ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT FOG IS STILL MIXING IN WITH
THE RAIN SO CONTINUED THE MENTION OF THE FOG POTENTIAL IN THE HWO.
ALSO RAISED POPS QUITE A BIT IN THE CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN AREAS
TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS INCREASING TREND OF PRECIPITATION. IN REGARDS
TO TO THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY EVENT...WATCHING THE THE NEWEST
MODEL TRENDS COMING IN AND WILL BE UPDATING OUR CURRENT THINKING
THIS AFTERNOON ONCE ALL THE 12Z RUNS COME. RIGHT NOW MODELS ARE
BEGINNING TO SLOW DOWN..WHICH COULD CAUSE MORE OF A CONCERN. WITH
THAT SAID WILL CONTINUE TO REALLY FOCUS ON THE NORTH...SPECIFICALLY
THE NORTHWEST.
